Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Distilled down version of bug fixes for 3.7. The patches have been well tested. If you notice that commit dates are from today, it's because I pulled less important bits out and shuffled them into the 3.8 mix. Apart from that, no changes, base still the same. It contains: - Fix for aoe, don't run request_fn while it's plugged. - Fix for a regression in floppy since 3.6, which causes problems if no floppy is found. - Stable fix for blk_exec(), don't touch a request after it has been sent to the scheduler (and the device as well). - Five fixes for various nasties in mtip32xx." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: Don't access request after it might be freed mtip32xx: Fix padding issue aoe: avoid running request handler on plugged queue mtip32xx: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in mtip_timeout_function() mtip32xx: fix shift larger than type warning mtip32xx: Fix incorrect mask used for erase mode mtip32xx: Fix to make lba address correct in big-endian systems mtip32xx: fix potential crash on SEC_ERASE_UNIT dm: fix deadlock with request based dm and queue request_fn recursion floppy: destroy floppy workqueue before cleaning up the queue
